The PSC is heading to the Caribbean Island of Grenada!!!  Join us for a week of fun in the sun that includes scuba diving, snorkeling, and island exploration.

Grenada (pronounced Gre-Nay-Dah) is a captivating eco-tourism paradise, nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, where the allure of nature meets the thrill of adventure.  Every moment promises pure adventure, natural splendor, rich heritage, and culinary delights.

Grenada is an island country of the West Indies in the eastern Caribbean Sea.  The southernmost of the Windward Islands, Grenada is directly south of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and about 100 miles north of Trinidad and the South American mainland.

Our trip includes seven nights in True Blue Bay Boutique Resort.  Located on the south coast of the island, True Blue is a family-owned and operated, climate-smart boutique hotel, offering a Caribbean-chic ambience and a colorful and relaxed tropical atmosphere.  The hotel is a short drive from Maurice Bishop International Airport, St. George’s University, the beautiful white-sand Grand Anse Beach, restaurants, and shops.  It is also well-connected to the rest of the island including the historic town of St. Georges.

Our trip package includes five days of scuba diving, round-trip airport transfers, and hotel taxes.  It also includes daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  The meal plan includes two-course lunches & dinners (appetizer and main, or main and dessert).  Drinks (non-alcoholic & alcoholic), steak, and lobster are available for an additional charge.

The resort offers a variety of amenities and activities including an onsite dive shop, yoga studio, spa, restaurant, gym, bakery, four pools, free water sports (kayaking, paddle boarding and Hobie-cat sailing), and free shuttle service to Grand Anse Beach or BBC beach.  Snorkeling is also available at the dive shop for an additional fee.

Each of our True Blue Rooms features either a king-size bed or twin beds, a compact kitchen equipped with a coffee maker and cooking utensils, a cozy couch, a dining area for two, a TV, a wardrobe, and a recently renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower.  Nestled on the upper side of the resort, these spacious and comfortable Caribbean-style rooms are perfect for us, thanks to their proximity to the dive shop.  Situated on both the ground and upper levels, each room boasts its own unique views.

Single Rooms:  Listed price is for double occupancy.  Add $550 for the Single Supplement if you want a room to yourself.

Air Schedule:  Everyone will need to secure their own air for the trip.  Below is the itinerary booked by the trip leader, which you may wish to duplicate.  Flights (Subject to Change) are on Delta Airlines to Grenada (Note: Departing out of DCA but return flight lands at IAD)

Miscellaneous Trip Information:  

Currency:  The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD).  There are ATM machines on the island to obtain local currency if needed.  Current exchange rate (17 September 2025) is 2.697 XCD/USD.

Power Outlets:  Genada and the True Blue Bay Resort use a 220v system with UK-style plugs (Type G).  You will need an adapter for our US-style 120v plugs.  You can buy them in Grenada, but recommend that you purchase some before the trip.

Trip Insurance:   Emergency medical, evacuation & repatriation insurance (not cancellation insurance) is included with your trip.  This is not cancellation coverage and will not provide any relief if you have to cancel from the trip before it begins, whether for medical or other reasons.  You may upgrade the coverage of this Basic Plan to include cancellation insurance by clicking on this link.  It will take you to a flyer describing the Basic Plan and the upgrade options available through Myra Altschuler of Travel Protectors LLC:

DIVERS ALERT NETWORK (DAN):  It is recommended that all divers on the trip purchase a DAN membership (not included in trip cost).  In case of a dive accident, DAN membership can save you thousands of dollars.  DAN membership alone does not provide coverage for costs of a dive accident; dive accident insurance must be purchased separately for each member if you choose.  Please see the chart and link below for the levels of membership, associated costs, and detailed information about DAN. https://dan.org/
